Back in 2009/2010 when entropic gravity came out, I once went to lunch with Verlinde after his talk and had all the opportunities to discuss, and I still don't understand the theory. I really don't.

If the people promoting it weren't renowned scientists, I think I would have decided that it's nonsense long ago, but things being the way they are, I'm probably too stupid or something.
I doubt that. It seems to me that the smartest people are the ones who can spin the most complex webs of BS if they are motivated to do so-- even to themselves.
